Tiktok said this would be SUPER weird, I have a high tolerance for weird. This was a lil 🤏🏿 weird.
The characters were so funny in their competitive redemptive suffering. I feel like Marek's ending fell a bit flat, though. Ending, as a whole, could've been a bit better.
The characters inner lives and inner thoughts are twisted In a way that glues your eyes to the book. The book is NOT scary, just dark themes.
A good enough read but did not make me want to read My Year of Rest and Relaxation. But never say never 🤷🏿♀️.
